[Yaesu] Yaesu separation cable jack question

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I don't know about the FT891 but I do know the FT-857D front panel 
cables are 6 wire telephone cables with one oddity. The connectors are 
installed on the cable with one inverted, not straight through telephone 
standard. The standard telephone cable won't work.

The cable with the connector on one end flipped works fine even if long 
enough to control the rig in the car trunk.
